Ahead of her forthcoming EP The Morning’s Malaise, Pittsburgh-based Mirabelle Skipworth reveals a poignant taster in ‘The Couch‘.
Taking a refreshing and unexpected melodic progression throughout, the combination of Skipworth’s stark vocals against her ambient yet foreboding instrumental arrangement brings something deeply unsettling here in terms of a listen.
Revealing aspects of a relationship’s darkest moments and managing to avoid the stereotypical sonic documentation of it, this feels candid, rate and brilliantly destabilising. This is a catharsis that is both bleak and illuminating.
